            Bug ID: 108142
           Summary: Many empty directories created in the build directory
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: modula2
          Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jakub at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Seems a lot of new empty directories are created in the build directory during
toplevel configure:
stage{1,2,3,4}/m2
m2/ (lots of subdirectories)
They are created regardless of whether m2 is in --enable-languages= or not,
both when
using absolute pathnames and relative (/whatever/configure
--enable-languages=m2 or
../configure --enable-languages=m2 or ../configure --enable-languages=c etc.)
and from what I can see, they remain empty (don't contain any non-directories)
for the whole duration of build or bootstrap.
Can we get rid of those, or create them only before they'd be actually used?
And, preferably without those stage{1,2,3,4} toplevel directories at least (say
move the stages into m2/ or even gcc/m2 subdirectory of the build directory).
